The increased connectivity aims to facilitate both business and leisure travel between Belgium and the United States, contributing to economic growth on both sides of the Atlantic.
United’s ongoing commitment to the route is celebrated by both company representatives and Brussels Airport executives, emphasising the importance of the enduring partnership. With upgraded aircraft and enhanced services, United continues to provide passengers with a comfortable and convenient travel experience, further solidifying its presence in the Belgian market.
